Super quiet little pocket of history just below the main Tor.

This tor is just a stone's throw from the nearby car park and towers over Dartmoor. Very impressive, good for a short tour, as a starting point for visiting other tors, for a picnic (depending on the unpredictable weather here 😉) or recently also for climbing (you could see a few people free climbing - but I can't say for sure whether it's allowed) and for treasure hunts. Otherwise just beautiful nature and (outside of tourist times) nice and quiet.

Hound Tor is a mass of granite boulders supposedly resembling two huge hounds. It's fun to scramble here and the running is ace, the springy grass is great fun and the rocks are grippy even when wet. There is normally an ice cream van in the car park.
